Muddy Water Waipara Deliverance Chardonnay 2023

Tasting Notes

Golden yellow in the glass, this Waipara Chardonnay is full-bodied and richly textured. Aromas of citrus and stone fruit rise above an elegant layer of oak spice, followed by notes of almond and subtle lees. Dry on the palate, with vivid acidity and a creamy, spiced finish.

The Blend

100% Chardonnay. Wild-fermented, unfined and unfiltered. Aged in oak barrels for depth and structure, this wine reflects the limestone soils and organic vineyard practices of Waipara Valley.

Pair it with

Buttery roast chicken, creamy pasta with mushrooms, or a linen-draped lunch in the winter sun. Ideal for the first glass of a long evening.
